Vintage Bronze Crucifix with Four Hearts and Lilies
Product Details
The Vintage Bronze Crucifix with Four Hearts and Lilies closes each of its four arms in a heart, and inside each heart a fleur-de-lis opens like a flower in a vase. Leafy sprays run outward along the crossbar from the center, and the corpus is slender and quietly modelled with the head fallen to the right, so the cross reads as ornament from across a room and as devotion up close.
The heart and the lily belong together in Catholic art. The heart is love given away entirely, the lily is purity, and between them they are the language of both the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart. Repeated four times around the figure of Christ, they turn the instrument of the Passion into something closer to a flowering tree, which is exactly what centuries of hymns have called it.
The crucifix was faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves its vintage character.
- Made in the USA
- Artisan-cast from an antique original
- Finished by hand, so every piece is subtly unique.
- Buy the medal alone, or add an optional chain or cord necklace
- Add a cord or chain to have it arrive assembled and ready to wear
- Arrives in a deluxe velour jewelry box
